Weddings by the Seashore
1-800-884-0026
There is something magical happening between the towns of Rehoboth Beach,
Delaware, and Ocean City, Maryland that has brides and grooms dreaming of their
spectacular wedding day!

Weddings by the Seashore, (the original beach planning service) has worked with brides and
grooms from all over the continental United States to dream, plan and organize their spectacular
event. It all starts with the perception of what the day, weekend, or weeklong event should be. From
that point, every effort is made to help make the dream come true while staying within the bride and
grooms budget. Some brides want limos, a violinist, white gowns, and tuxedos. Others chose to arrive
by boat in Hawaiian dresses, or in island printed shirts with Khaki pants, while a guitarist plays on
the beach. Our caring ministers will make sure you have a copy of your wedding ceremony long
before your special day so that any special family request may be added to make your day
individually and uniquely your own. Weddings by the Seashore also works with a number of local
florists to add those elegant and affordable flowers to make your day complete. Each bride’s
personal taste is taken into consideration. Floral tropical arm bouquets, hand tied seasonal flowers,
or any other arrangement can compliment your special day. No matter how the event is perceived, the
goal is to make it happen. Various sites such as National Parks, private homes, and beachside
locations can be chosen as the wedding and/or reception site or picnic setting, Hawaiian Luau Buffet,
or famous Eastern shore crab cakes and filet mignon are just a few of the available options. Whatever
your style reception, it can be catered to delight your wedding guests and your personal taste. Before,
during, and after your wedding the event can be recorded to share with the family and friends that
could not join in the festivities. We work with several local photographers, each with their own
specialties, to bring you the best in capturing that special moment. It is a perfect opportunity to have
family photographs done with a professional touch. The local photographer will capture the spirit of
your special day to preserve forever.
No wedding would be complete without the sweet ending of a wedding cake. Weddings by the
Seashore can guide you to a number of local bakeries depending on your style and wishes. One local
bakery has received the honor of doing the majority of the wedding cakes by providing a wonderfully
delightful Seashell Wedding Cake that is as delicious to look at as it is to eat.
The vendors working with Weddings by the Seashore are members of the local area Chamber of
Commerce and are dedicated to helping make your wedding dream a reality.
Who Are We Anyway?

WE ARE WEDDINGS BY THE SEASHORE: We are the people who started to do beach weddings with
some very special people to make it cost effective, fun, and an experience you and your guests will not soon
forget. There are others trying to "copy cat" our experience, and style. But we are the originals, and if that
sounds like we are having fun, we are!!! We work with very special people who do everything possible to
make your day the very best it can be. We do not do "weddings in a box." Each wedding is planned with
what is important to you, what works with your budget, and your family and friends. Weddings can be as
simple as the two of you eloping or as elegant as a sit down dinner and champagne fountains. We do
everything from picnic weddings to luau buffets. It is your day and we believe you should have it your
way!!
Weddings by the Seashore is unique in that we are dealing almost exclusively with out of area residents that
rely on our service to guide them and provide them with the services they need to have their dream wedding
on the shore. We are blessed with the fact that our beautiful waterways allow us to have sunrise weddings
on the ocean and sunset weddings on the bay. We are ideally located in Ocean View, DE and 7 miles from
Ocean City, Maryland.

We work with an incredibly talented group of people who will work within the bride and groom’s budget to
facilitate their dreams and accommodate their spending allowance.
Usually the bride and groom, parents, and attendants take care of their wedding attire and rings at home.
We help them carefully plan everything else here at the beach.

First we have the bride and groom pick a date, (Saturday Evenings GO VERY QUICKLY) we then ask the
bride and groom to give us a vision of their dream wedding on the beach. Some brides want very formal
weddings and a WOW beach party afterwards. Others want wonderful brunches or luau themes. One thing
all beach brides have in common is they want their wedding to be fun and one that their guests will not soon
forget. We accommodate new brides, encore brides, and wedding renewals.

We have chosen the professionals we work with very carefully. We listen to feedback from our couples
after the wedding. We do our best to alleviate their fears and accommodate their desires. If they sound
like they want a strictly structured wedding, then a beach wedding may not be for them. The atmosphere is
always nice, always upbeat, the weather is almost always wonderful, the food is great, and the service is
excellent. It is, however, definitely a different pace.

We deal with several establishments where most of our weddings and receptions take place. We deal with
them over and over again because of their excellent history of providing great service to our brides and their
families. We deal with various venders where the entire affair can take place.
In any case, it has been our experience that all of the sites we work with have one common goal:
To make your day absolutely wonderful!

We help the bride and groom decide what is most important to them and where their budget dollars should
go. If spending a ton of money on flowers is less important than a really good photographer, we suggest
they purchase and hand tie flowers or have silk bouquets and corsages made at home. However, most of
our brides deal with the florist on our planning sheet because they are the most cost effective.

We deal with several cake makers because they make the signature Seashell Wedding cake right from a
confectioners dream. It can be a two tier cake or a multi-tiered beauty. Not only is the cake delicious but
also the homemade candied seashells and the sugar-spun coral is as wonderful to look at as it is to eat.

If recording your event is really important, we suggest a group of photographers so you can find out who is
most cost effective and accommodates your individual needs.

Many families have beach houses or condos where they chose to host their special day. A wedding right on
the beach outside your motel or near your home is not uncommon. We will take care of contacting the
appropriate authority to get permission.
Rev. Charlie’s beach ceremony is sent to the bride and groom well in advance so they can make any
necessary changes or additions to enhance your special day. Rev. Charlie does everything possible to make
the bride and groom feel comfortable and at ease during the ceremony. It is such a glorious celebration and
that feeling is present throughout the entire event.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call. We would love to have you visit one of
our beach weddings. (Only after we get permission from the bride and groom, of course!) We are sure it
will be an experience you will remember and talk about whenever the subject of a "special wedding" comes
about.

We appreciate your interest in WEDDINGS BY THE SEASHORE and look forward to hearing from you.
Please mention to the vendors that you are dealing with WEDDINGS BY THE SEASHORE and in most
cases some special price will apply.

A READING FROM CORINTIANS 1.13
LOVE is patient and kind;
It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
Love does not take offense and it is not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse,
to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes along. Love does not come to an end.
There are three things that last,
Faith.......Hope.......and Love.
And the greatest of these is LOVE.

THE VOWS
(Bride and groom please face each other)
(Groom- repeats after REV)
I, take you /
To be my wedded wife/
To have and to hold/
From this day forward/
For better, for worst/
For richer, for poorer/
In sickness and health/
To love and to cherish/
With my whole heart.

Wedding Day Tips

Please remember why you have chosen the beach for your special event. The bays
and the Oceans are decorated naturally and really do not to be decorated saving you
money. Most of the facilities we work with have areas designed to meet your
wedding day needs. You chose the beach because of more relaxed atmosphere;
please don't let that mood be ruined by trying to cram too many things into your
special event.

All brides want to look beautiful on their wedding day. Please do not get
sunburned. Lobster brides are extremely uncomfortable. Try tanning at home prior
to your special day.

Many brides chose to have their flowers done here at the beach, which can be quite
costly. Other brides chose to have silk flower done at home that can be saved long
after your special event. If you have you flowers done here, please tell the florist
you are on a budget and ask what flowers are in season at the time of your event.
Remember, you can always display your favorite wedding photo along with your
silk flowers together at home as permanent reminder of your special day.
We mention several different photographers on our planning sheet. All have
different price ranges and packages. Please make sure that the things that are
important to you are included in your package. (Who keeps the negatives, how
much are reprints, etc)

If you are being married on the beach, a train on your dress (depending on the size
of the train) could present some unique problems. Many brides have them bustled
for the ceremony and let them down later. Another unique idea is to look at the
white prom dresses, as they go on sale after the prom season. Some are very
"bridal" and will give the same illusion with the addition of a headpiece and
flowers, saving you a ton of money.

Budgeting for your reception is very important. Some brides choose sit down meals
and others choose to have heavy appetizers. Whatever your budget we can try to
work with you. Sometimes an open bar is not within the budget. Why not have a
social hour open bar and a cash bar afterwards. There is always the option of open
bar for one hour, which is closed during dinner and open for another hour
afterwards. Why not just a domestic beer and wine bar?? The option you choose
must match your budget and your dream.

Some brides do not have DJ's at their wedding. We suggest if you are not having a
DJ, why not substitute a processional song with a slow dance that is meaningful to
the two of you, and have your very first dance right there in the sand inside your
wedding circle. It can be extremely romantic.

If you are having a violinist or guitarist, why not have him play during your
ceremony, and then, right before you say your vows, take a moment and walk to the
water, just the two of you and proclaim "quietly" your love for each other or
remember someone who could not be with you. This is also a really neat time to
perhaps throw a fresh gathering of wild flowers in the water. Who knows where
they may travel or whose lives they may touch.

We suggest you speak with our photographers. All have different programs and
ideas regarding your wedding. This may indeed play and important part of your
wedding budget.

If you are going with a package deal, please be very specific about what is included
and what is not included. It is best to have everything in writing prior to making a
commitment. WE have worked out some creative projects that will allow you to add
more people or more options and still stay within your budget!!!

Ocean Side Ceremonies-----The pictures are absolutely beautiful. However, there
are inherent problems with a beach that is not owned by anyone. Tourist may
wonder thru or behind you. The ocean noise is incredible when you are videotaping
and saying your vows and your guest may not be able to hear. There is nothing
quite as romantic as an ocean wedding but be prepared for some of the obstacles
also.
PLEASE CONSIDER BOOKING NOW AS OPPOSED TO WAITING. THE
RATES ALWAYS GO UP OVER THE WINTER MONTHS. THIS PERTAINS
TO PHOTOGRAPHERS, DJ'S, ROOM RATES, ETC.

Winter packages are extremely affordable, as are the room rates and other costs
associated with traveling. You will also have more attention from the motels and
reception sites. We feel that staying within your budget does not mean giving up
your dream; it just means getting more creative with where your money goes!

Weddings by the Seashore
We are the original Beach planning service.
1-800-884-0026
We have been working with brides and grooms from all over the United States to help
them plan their dream beach weddings. We have teamed up with the following
professionals to help make your day as wonderful as your wildest imagination. Weddings
by the Seashore, will help from the beginning of the planning and follow thru with you on
your wedding day to make sure everything goes as well as you dreamed. The planning of
your most important day begins with your officiate and the site of your wedding. We
provide a minister, and a personal on site coordinator prior to and during your
ceremony. You will have a copy of the ceremony ahead of time to make any additions or
changes so there will not be any surprises on your wedding day. We will help you
arrange for your state issued license and make sure the paperwork is filed in a timely
manner with the state after your wedding. We will also make sure that any official
permission for your wedding is processed. Therefore no matter where your wedding takes
place, on the beach outside your motel, a state park or at a private facility, we are with
you all the way, making sure your wedding dreams do come true. The gratuity to the
minister is separate and the groom should take care of this when presenting your license
for your wedding. Budgeting is very important to us and you should know up front
exactly what your wedding would cost. We have teamed up with the wedding
professionals to offer some really wonderful deals.
